Patent CA-2184990-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved product disperser with enlarged non-dispensing application/distribution surface
Inventor: DORNBUSCH ARTHUR HAROLD
IPC: A45D34/04
Filed: 1994-04-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to improved product dispensers for various spreadable products, including fluids, suspensions, lotions, creams, emulsions, and gels. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser is in the form of an improved roll-on type applicator (10) with an enlarged application/distribution surface in the form of a dome (50) with an aperture (51) for exposing a portion of the rotating element (40). As product is expressed from the gap between the element and dome, it follows the surface of the element into contact with the desired surface and is thereby applied to this surface. Excess product not applied to the desired surface by the element either follows the element surface through the gap between the element and the dome back into the container or is sheared from the element surface by the edge of the aperture in the dome. This sheared-off product flows onto the dome surface or contacts other pans of the desired receiving surface and is distributed by the application/distribution surface of the dome, which functions both as a secondary applicator for this undistributed product and as a primary distributor for evening out the total product distribution on the desired surface, thus providing an improved means for uniformly applying and distributing product dispensed by the rotating element. The resulting roll-on applicator enables the product to be more easily applied in a consistent, less messy fashion, and the simplicity of the package construction equates to a very userfriendly package which is cost effective to produce and reliable and operation.
Patent CA-2185595-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORAN DAMIAN A
IPC: E02D29/02
Filed: 1996-09-16
Abstract: In an assembly for constructing a multi-tiered retaining wall to support a backfilled embankment, at least one generally planar backfill retaining wall panel has opposed top and bottom edges, and opposed parallel side edges. Each wall panel spans between pairs of transversely spaced posts. Each post is in the form of a rigid elongate column having an upper end, a lower end and opposed side portions. An abutment means forming arecessed area extends longitudinally along each side portion of the column for receiving the side edge of the wall panel. A pin element insertable into the column forms means for retaining said wall panel in place between pairs of columns in the abutment means prior to backfilling against a rear surface of the wall panel. A seat means at the upper end of the column supports a wall panel of an adjacent higher tier. A saddle means at the lower end of the column provides for free-standing support of the column on a wall panel on an adjacent lower tier prior to backfilling. A connector extends from the column for connection to a wire mesh for anchoring the column to the backfilled embankment. The column further has set-back means for providing a wall panel of an upper tier with a predetermined set-back into the embankment in relation to a wall panel in an adjacent lower tier.

Title: Method and device of matrix display
Inventor: LI WEICHENG
IPC: H01J31/12
Filed: 1995-04-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a new scanning method and device for matrix panel display. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a method using elec-tron beam to scan comprising the steps: connecting each anode of dc matrix dis-play panel to the display electrical sup-ply's positive pole via a switch cell whose on-off status is controlled by electron beam, using one electron beam to irra-diate to some anode to change the on-off status of the switch cell conducted with it; using another electron beam to irradi-ate to some cathode of the display panel to conduct this cathode with the display electrical supply's negative pole; thereby selecting the unique display cell at the in-tersection of anode and cathode to light up: deflecting both beams accordingly to implement two-dimensional addressing in the way of space-shift; and adjusting beam current of the irradiating cathode to achieve image gray scale adjustment. In another embodiment, the invention comprises a device using electron beam to scan for plasma matrix panel display, comprising direct-current plasma display panel means comprising display discharging cells formed at the intersections of the anodes and cathodes and switch cells formed at the intersections of the anodes and collection electrodes, with the anodes being arranged into different sets corresponding to the collection electrodes; two electron beam scanning means, each comprising an electrode-array target screen where target electrodes are connected to display panel's anodes and cathodes, display electrical supply whose output voltage is greater than or equal to the sum of the breakdown voltage of display discharging cell and the maintaining voltage of switch cell; and delay-circuit means for longer pixel duty cycle. One electron beam scans anodes and closes the related switch cells to link display supply; another electron beam scans cathodes to conduct this cathode with the display electrical supply's negative pole to make a unique moving display cell to emit light so as to realize two-dimensional scanning and display, thereby substantially simplifying the scanning and display circuitry to achieve high-quality of larger area panel display and to lower production cost of panel display systems.

Title: Process for recovery of metals from used nickel-metal hydride storage batteries
Inventor: KLEINSORGEN KLAUS
IPC: C22B3/00
Filed: 1995-12-01
Abstract: In the recycling of used nickel/metal hydride storage batteries, the battery scrap is dissolved in sulphuric acid after mechanical separation of the coarse constituents by magnetic and air separation. A solvent extraction is performed with the digestion solution, from which the rare earths (from the hydrogen-storage alloys in the negative electrodes) and iron and aluminium have been selected by precipitation, under conditions (ph [sic], choice of solvent, volumetric ratio of the phases) which are such that the aqueous phase contains nickel and cobalt in the same atomic ratio as that in which they were present in the scrap. This makes possible a joint recovery by simultaneous electrolysis, in which process the deposition product forms a master alloy which can be used, together with the precipitated rare earths which have been electrometallurgically reprocessed as mixed metal, for the production of fresh hydrogen-storage alloys.

Patent CA-2212834-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GALLAGHER MICHAEL J
IPC: B60R21/216
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: A molded motor vehicle instrument panel (10) made of a thermoplastic material has an integral air bag deployment door (14) for a passenger side air bag (22) that is defined by a tear seam (16) and is normally retained by an integral flexible mounting/hinge flange (36) to a part of the vehicle structure (11) when the seam is torn by the inflating air bag and wherein this flange then bends to allow the door to swing open to allow deployment of the air bag retaining same to the vehicle structure as the door is then free of the instrument panel.  At very low temperatures, a portion of the air bag door can break away from the mounting/hinge flange because of plastic embrittlement at these low temperatures and the high bending stresses encountered at this juncture. This separation of the broken door portion from the vehicle structure is prevented by a tethering hinge (50) that is formed of a strong flexible sheet material that spans this critical juncture between the mounting/hinge flange and door and remains flexible at these very cold temperature to retain the broken door portion to the vehicle structure.

Le toit est composé d'une pièce en forme de jupe et d'une pièce en forme de couronne que l'on fixe au contenant pour en faire une cabane ou une mangeoire. Il suffit de placer la jupe autour du goulot, de visser le bouchon du contenant pour fermer l'ouverture du goulot et ainsi serrer la jupe en place, puis d'attacher la couronne sur le dessus de la jupe. On attache ensuite le perchoir et l'entrée en forme d'anneau au contenant pour en faire une cabane à oiseaux. Dans un deuxième modèle, l'ensemble présente un toit, un plateau pour l'alimentation et deux ensembles de support. Le toit est fixé au contenant de la même façon que dans le premier modèle, mais le plateau d'alimentation lui est attaché pour en faire une mangeoire pour oiseaux. Dans les deux modèles, les ensembles de support permettent d'accrocher facilement la cabane ou la mangeoire à une surface verticale.
